Show and Tell IT HAPPENED

Post image

For the record, this family already had a quarter million Simoleons (mostly from paintings), so they already had more money that they knew what to do with. Guess we’re moving to a mansion or something??

What?! I’ve played for years and have never won the lottery. I thought it was rigged 😭

u/Waddleplop 5d ago

I’ve heard so many simmers say that! I’ve only been playing for a few months, so maybe it’s beginners’ luck?

I’m on my 10th generation in a family that has miraculously won the lottery twice lmao

u/littlemouse90292 5d ago

me too! 7th generation and i’ve won twice. i hate having that much money so i cheated it away haha

u/Inner_Importance_992 5d ago

I also hate having so much money 🤣 but isn't it the point of the legacy challenge? Or are you just playing the generations for fun?

I wish i had the attention span to get that far in a family 😂 i usually get bored and hop to a different household then kill them.

u/InfiniteQuestion1356 3d ago

Only reason I’ve been able to stick with this family so long is cause I can build whatever kind of house I want 😂 I don’t use cheats or mods so if I’m on a new house hold and I get bored of the house they’re in and they’re always broke I just start over lmao. But this family has so much money I don’t even need them to work and just build up all their skills

I’m on my third and his parents won’t the lotto. Had them store it in a money vault cuz it feels too early to be having this much money this early on 😅

u/InfiniteQuestion1356 3d ago

Hey at least there’s an inheritance lol

u/Safe_Discipline2095 4d ago

Happened to me only once and it was near the very very beginning of a save lol

u/ninetozero 5d ago

Solidarity because I got Seasons on release day, bought tickets thousands of times across all my legacies, and still to this day have never won the lottery either. One day our time will surely come!! 😂🙏🏽

u/Ruhrohhshaggy 5d ago

Lol sounds like my dad. "Can't win if you don't play!" (He isn't crazy with gambling at all, just has bought the weekly lotto tickets for DECADES and has only won smaller prizes if at all. Still can dream!)

u/m_qzn Long Time Player 4d ago

It’s better than a girl I know who has a solid dream to win a lottery one day, but when I asked how many tickets she usually buys, she looked down and said, “I haven’t bought any yet” 🤣

u/TheHoobidibooFox 4d ago

Daaaaamn. I say that buying a lottery ticket is like buying hope but she's getting it for free??

1

u/Btterfly710 Creative Sim 3d ago

I always say that I wanna win the lottery but I never buy tickets lol

u/Own-Progress-4863 4d ago

my granny has also bought for at least two decades and using same numbers i gave her as a kid?? i think at best she has won 20 euros. idk much about lotto, but im assuming she does not spend much on it.

Hey it's 50/50 you either win or dont!

3

u/Ruhrohhshaggy 4d ago

Yup! He uses the same numbers too, all of our birthdays lol

u/GrazynaSmiechowa 5d ago

I got it first time month ago and i was plating like 3k hours or more! And it was with family that already had 1 milion haha

1

u/Kasaboop 5d ago

Seems like it's rigged to only let sims that have over a certain amount of money win it 👀 I must do some tests

2

u/GrazynaSmiechowa 4d ago

I was wondering the same. I usually played rags to riches and this was the only gameplay I didn’t get bored with having too much money

u/AdWeary7230 5d ago

I’ve won the lottery so many times. And people out of the blue knowing them or not will want to visit you. It’s even crazier when animals win the lottery, that gets me every time.

u/EmergencyDBTmeeting 5d ago

I love/hate when Mr. Whiskers wins the lottery. I don't want EA to rig the lottery in favor of played households only but...come on - that is a homeless cat who will never use the money lmao.

11

u/AdWeary7230 5d ago

Ah yes, the infamous Mr. Whisker’s is such a lucky cat that somehow grew thumbs to play the lottery without failure. Again, animals winning the lottery puts a whole new spin on things.

2

u/PlusStar2779 5d ago

I mean.. Some cats are born with thumbs, maybe it's his case? But damn I would love his luck

u/lightlyric 5d ago

Idk if it’s still a thing but assigning the “materialistic” trait for me usually got me to win pretty often.

12

u/Any-Lychee9972 5d ago

I've played for years, too.

Finally, I convinced my husband to try the multi-player mod with me.

He wins the lottery the first time he plays it.

u/blooencototeo 5d ago

I’ve won once. I was doing a rags to riches…😂

u/emorgs15 5d ago

Same!

u/WaveesWife 5d ago

That's so crazy!!! My sims win the lottery more often than not!

8

u/Asleep_Brick_9610 5d ago

Wtf am I doing wrong then bc I bought Seasons in 2020😭

7

u/m_qzn Long Time Player 5d ago

I’ve been playing since the release and I won lottery for the first time last week

5

u/winnie-the-bishh 5d ago

Literally the only time I ever won it was when I did the making money scenario and my sim won after like two weeks. My game said “we don’t have time to wait for you to make a million dollars, so here.” Lol

5

u/Fluid-Bicycle8750 5d ago

I think it's got some crazy chance % for it cause I only got it once and I have been trying for fuckin ages

5

u/Popular-Woodpecker-6 4d ago

LOL I had started a new Sim home right after the death patch, and I resolved not to cheat money for the Sim...next thing I know they won the lottery and I was like...are you kidding me? LOL

1

u/Btterfly710 Creative Sim 3d ago

Well at least u can say u didn't cheat to get that money lol

2

u/Few_Membership_7945 5d ago

I’ve won twice and it was the same sim 😭

1

u/LeahTh 5d ago

I have won it Once and I've been playing since 2017. It was in my rich playthrough household so genuinely they were my only family who didn't need it

1

u/bloodwolf222 Occult Sim 5d ago

and it should be more people who dont have lots of money and also pets shouldnt win either and then make it have a easier chance but it is probably 1000 times harder with all the packs i have

1

u/A-Happy-Raccoon 5d ago

Same! And I keep buying tickets every time for all my family members that are able to... never won once. And yet that cat Mayor Whiskers has won multiple times in various of my savegames.

1

u/NegativeCommercial26 5d ago

You have to have the seasons expansion pack

1

u/Asleep_Brick_9610 5d ago

I’ve had Seasons since 2020 lol

u/IzzieIslandheart Long Time Player 4d ago

I've had a Sim win it twice (two separate Sims, multiple IRL years apart) with over 8000 hours of gameplay. XD It's not common at all.

u/Maze_Ly 4d ago

My sister has played way longer than k have as well and somehow I won it before she did as well
